Thu, 24 Feb 2005 02:25:59 +0000#comment-40167My suggestion will be that you should migrate your Forms / Reports / Pro*Cs to 9i using Oracle preferred migration tool Forms*Nova from http://www.wayne-burt.com. Then you can open / save under 10g. It works very well. There are many good references. Email your query for a whitepaper from Wayne-Burt at webmaster@wayne-burt.com

Wed, 23 Feb 2005 08:22:13 +0000#comment-40168I can’t speak to the developer tools, but I would first make sure the database upgrade is possible. You may have to upgrade first to an interim Oracle release (like 9i) before going to 10G. Oracle does not list support for 8.0.6 past AIX 4.3.3 and if you are running 64 bit Oracle, it won’t even load on a 5.x system as the binaries are different. While a 32 bit build may work in AIX5, you are taking a risk. If you are planning on building a 10g instance and restoring data from a backup, check the 10g release notes to make sure of the earliest format 10G will accept. On the OS side, if you are in a clustered environment and using PSSP, you have to get to PSSP 3.4 first, then upgrade to AIX 5.1, upgrade to PSSP 3.5, then upgrade to 5.2. Since 8.0.6 has been in extended assistance for a while, I would also recommend that you get to the latest patch level (8.0.6.3.0) before you start any of the above. Good Luck!

In order to migrate to AS 10g you have to check the hardware compatibility with Oracle. We stepped on one of the land mines recently – we were going to migrate from 9iAS release 1 to 10g release 1, but we run HP-UX 11.0 on a 32-bit processor, guess what.. Oracle does not support 32-bit processors for 10g…
You should also upgrade your forms 5 applications to 9i. We have done it quite easily. There is a lot of articles and postings on OTN.
Good luck!
